The correct option is D 1875−1925
During olden days kings enjoyed hunting and treated hunting as
royal sport. It is said that Maharaja of Surguja alone killed 1,157 tigers and
2,000 leopards in his lifetime.

only in forests and uncivilized societies. They thought to make India civilised
by killing such wild animals. They also thought presence of wild animals would
be a harm to agriculture. This is the reason why over
80,000 tigers, 150,000 leopards and 200,000 wolves were killed for reward in the
